That's why I'm marching, yes, I'm marching
Marching down freedom's road
Ain't nobody gonna stop me, nobody gonna keep me
From marching down freedom's road

Hand me my gun, let the bugle blow loud
I'm on my way with my head a-proud
One objective I've got in view
Is to keep a hold of freedom for me and you
That's why I'm marching, yes, I'm marching
Marching down freedom's road
Ain't nobody gonna stop me, nobody gonna keep me
From marching down freedom's road

Ought to be plain as the nose on your face
There's room in this plan for every race
Some folk think that freedom just ain't right
Those are the very people I want to fight
That's why I'm marching, yes, I'm marching
Marching down freedom's road

Ain't nobody gonna stop me, nobody gonna keep me
From marching down freedom's road
Now, Hitler may rant, Hirohito may rave
I'm going after freedom if it leads me to my grave
That's why I'm marching, yes, I'm marching
I'm marching down freedom's road
United we stand, divided we fall
Let's make this land safe for one and all
I've got a message, and you know it's right
Black and white together unite and fight

That's why I'm marching, yes, I'm marching
Marching down freedom's road
Ain't no fascists gonna stop me, no Nazis gonna keep me
From marching down freedom's road
